A man seated on a white cushioned throne-like seat on a stage, wearing an orange-saffron robe and wearing a long magenta and white flower garland draped to his feet, with a smaller yellow-orange floral garland at his neck. Two women in white sarees with gold borders stand on either side: the woman on the left, in white with gold trim, holds a small ritual object toward him, while the woman on the right, in a white saree, leans in toward his feet. Behind him a banner reads Paramahamsa Nithyananda over a picture of an orange-robed figure with rudraksha malas. Bouquets of flowers, a water bottle, and white draped tables with offerings sit at the sides, consistent with a padapuja ceremony. The seated man is a person by appearance cues: an orange robe, flower garlands and a throne-like seat, with the page naming him at this event.
